"Oh? My big hero An Lin has only just crawled out of his coffin, but he's already looking quite spritely and energetic." Xu Xiaolan leaned against the doorframe and appraised An Lin with a hint of a smile on her face.
An Lin's hands were caught mid-clap, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
"Er... Let me explain, Xiaolan! Xiao Hong and Little Gu think that I won't be able to live for much longer, so they offered to dance for me..." An Lin hurriedly explained.
Xiao Hong and Little Gu immediately stopped dancing and turned to An Lin with stunned expressions.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't you tell us you had less than a year to live?"
"You lied to us?"
"Ah!!! You a*shole! How could you play with our emotions like this?!"
Xiao Hong and Little Gu screamed as they pounced toward An Lin.
Thump thump thump... Bang bang bang... Clatter clatter clatter... Puff puff puff...
An Lin was bashed to the ground by the two of them.
Xu Xiaolan remained leaning on the doorframe and pursed her lips."Tch, men..."
Soon, two more people arrived to visit him.
"Ah... Classmate An Lin... How did you end up like this?" Su Qianyun spoke in her mellow voice with concern and anxiety etched on her face.
"You're so bruised and battered. Is this an after-effect of using that mystic technique?" Xuanyuan Cheng asked.
An Lin: "..."
Was there any mystic technique in this world that would result in after-effects like this?
After a round of explanation and reassurance, all of his beast pets and friends finally had their hearts eased.
Xuanyuan Cheng: "There is a ten-day holiday for all of us during which the university is being reconstructed. Three days have passed, and we are now in a courtyard beside the Heavenly Court's Jade Pond."
Xu Xiaolan said with a smile, "Everyone has received news of your awakening, but I told them not to visit you for now so that you can recover in peace."
An Lin nodded upon hearing this.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was the most popular immortal within the Heavenly Court, and there were simply too many people concerned about and reverent toward him. If all of them were allowed to visit him, he would have no free time as he would constantly be attending to guests.
"By the way, the Celestial Thearch has invited you to the Celestial Thearch Palace after you recover so that you can discuss some matters with him, " Xu Xiaolan added
Everyone let loose cries of surprise upon hearing this.
They knew what this invitation entailed. In the eyes of the five Heavenly Court emperors, An Lin was already worthy of being an equal to them!fr𝙚ℯ𝓌e𝚋𝙣ovℯl - 🅽🅽novel
"Haha, let's talk about that another time." An Lin waved a nonchalant hand.
After that, all of his friends and beast pets sat in a circle within the beautiful courtyard, sipping tea and chatting about some other things.
"I heard that the Heavenly Wind God incident has been kept completely confidential by the Heavenly Court. Everyone involved has sworn dao heart vows to not disclose any details of the event, " Xuanyuan Cheng said as he took a small sip of tea.
"This is something that should indeed be kept under wraps." An Lin nodded. He approved of the Heavenly Court's decision.
Just the fact that the Heavenly Wind God was trying to destroy the human race would give many foreign tribes an excuse to stir up trouble and bring disaster to the human race.
"Sigh, more and more people are becoming interested in me." A round and chubby little girl wearing a black dress sipped on some tea with a resigned expression on her face.
An Lin couldn't help but pinch Little Xie's cheek. He only withdrew his hand with a sheepish smile when Little Xie turned to glower at him.
"There have always been many people interested in you, so what's wrong with having a few more join the party?"
Little Xie rolled her eyes."That's completely different! In the past, everyone was entranced by my looks, but now, they're trying to dissect me!"
"That's alright, the Heavenly Court wants to dissect An Lin more than they want to dissect you, " Xu Xiaolan consoled her.
An Lin: "???"
Xiaolan, does your conscience not ache when you say that?
Little Xie really was comforted, and she blinked her large eyes as she looked at An Lin with a wide grin.
An Lin wore an aggrieved expression.
Xuanyuan Cheng burst into laughter."Classmate An Lin, you'll have to be careful when you walk around outside with the Evil-Slaying Sword on your back. You'll form a duo with the two most sought-after dissection subjects combined!"
"Class Captain, even you're making fun of me..." An Lin heaved a forlorn sigh."This world is such a cold, cruel place..."
He turned toward Little Xie and extended his demonic claws again as he spoke, "In this cold, harsh world, we're both in danger of being dissected, so we can only snuggle up together for warmth..."
He immediately laid his hands on her chubby cheeks and began rubbing them again!
"Can you stop!" Little Xie immediately exploded with rage and began chasing An Lin around while wielding her Evil-Slaying Sword.
"Save me, Xiaolan! My sword spirit is rebelling!" An Lin cried for help.
"Nice one, Little Xie! All men are trash!" Xiaolan encouraged.
An Lin: "..."
Before they knew it, a day had passed amid a leisurely atmosphere.
In all honesty, An Lin was bursting at the seams with rage and guilt upon seeing Little Xie being swatted into nothingness by the Heavenly Wind God. Fortunately, sword spirits had special constitutions, and she was able to go back and recuperate within the sword even after sustaining such grievous damage. The healing spell technique An Lin had unleashed for Little Xie had allowed her to recover quickly.
The next day.
An Lin finally made his way to the Celestial Thearch Palace.
There were some things that he had to face.
An Lin looked up at the pristine, white palace that appeared to be hovering above the clouds. A divine light glowed around the palace, giving it a holy, ethereal feel.
He began to walk up the cloud staircase.
An Lin extended a finger, and a stream of wind revolved around it. Even though it wasn't an extremely powerful stream of wind by any means, it seemed to be able to resonate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth...
He even had a feeling that if he was to flick this stream of wind toward the Celestial Thearch Palace, the entire palace would be swept hundreds of thousands of feet away...
This was one of his secrets, a secret which no one else knew.
He now possessed the power of the Heavenly Wind God.
To put it more accurately, he had absorbed the power of the Heavenly Wind God!
On the cultivation method tab of his system interface.
The wind-type cultivation method was initially only at the second stage, but it had now skyrocketed straight to the ninth stage!
The system only provided one sentence of explanation—Ninth-Stage Wind Spirit Technique, the pinnacle in the dao of wind, allowing one to unleash the power of the wind representative of the Heavenly Dao!
This was a super hack!
However, he had tried to use the power of the wind representative of the Heavenly Dao, only to find that all of his energy was depleted before he could even unleash the power. It was quite clear that he still didn't have enough strength to use this power.
Even so, he had still experienced extremely alarming growth in the dao of wind!
Even though the system had always been trying to screw him over, it was also very bad*ss. However, he was getting a little scared now that it was even able to snatch away the power of the Heavenly Wind God...
Was this system even more powerful than the Heavenly Dao?
How was that possible?!
So how were the system and the Heavenly Dao related?
Could it have something to do with his Tian Ming Dao Physique?
An Lin felt as if there were more and more mysteries surrounding himself, and he didn't dare to disclose any of it to anyone else. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be dissected before he unraveled these mysteries for himself!
"Phew... In any case, let's see what the emperors have to say."
An Lin made his way over to the gate of the Celestial Thearch Palace and took a deep breath before entering the palace!
